Corrupt media protects corrupt establishment and nary a Woodward or Bernstein in sight
Establishment rot threatens our survival as a free people, and will be tough to uproot without a free media
By Newt Gingrich | Gingrich360.com
The conspiracy between a corrupt set of bureaucracies (including the Justice Department, the IRS and the intelligence community) and an equally corrupt and enabling elite media is astonishing. The Durham report is just one more confirmation of the devastating level of dishonesty and manipulation which have characterized the last few years.
Some analysts believe the open corruption can be traced back to Lois Lerner and the IRS scandal, in which she clearly stonewalled conservative organizations from getting tax status. When she was found to be in contempt of Congress, the Obama Justice Department spent two years ignoring the congressional contempt charge and then decided not to prosecute her.
As Congressman Jim Jordan said at the time, U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen was "us[ing] his power as a political weapon to undermine the rule of law." Jordan went on: "Mr. Machen… unilaterally decided to ignore the will of the House of Representatives. He and the Justice Department have given Lois Lerner cover for her failure to account for her actions at the IRS."
